Default Kuhmo Road Venture MT (in stock) vs BFG KM2/GY MTR (waiting list)

Like the title says I'm debating between these 3 tires there are many diffrences I know. Would anyoen sugest the Kuhmo's over the others or vise versa. I am concerned about the weight of the Kuhmo's compared to the other two especially the lightweight KM2??? I will be ordering through discount tire direct. The size is 35x12.50r15. I am in Afghanistan at the moment but not for very much longer. Please weight in on my decision especially the Kuhmo's there seems to be NO ONE running those and that concern's me??????

We are running the KUHMO on one of our rigs right now. Two things to keep in mind... 1) These tires do not have near the tread depth of other mud terrain tires but they are very road friendly. Ours are wearing great! 2) They are a directional tire and i think this is why not many people run them. It makes rotation front to back only and the spare has to be mounted in a direction that only works for one side unless you just use it to get you home. Other than those two things they are great tires!
